Castanet came under heavy criticism this week for running a story about the execution of 12 Nepalese hostages at the hands of Iraqi militants.
We ran a story about what had happened to the victims and put a link at the bottom of the story with a warning to our readers that some of the images could be considered graphic. The cover photo showed the bodies of the Nepalese men lying in a grave.
The linked web page also contained a video of the beheading of one of the men with a warning in bold letters that it's extremely graphic. Some of our readers have taken issue with Castanet linking that particular page. What do you think?
